Driving report Volvo C40 and Polestar 2

DThe turn to electricity causes some people to stumble. At Volvo, too, we're not entirely sure where the path will lead. Especially since the Swedes now exist twice, including their sister brand Polestar, which is dedicated to sporty ambitions with the purest design. We were once there in the far north, where they probably had the crazy idea of ​​getting rid of the rear window because of the long, dark nights. But where they also offer material and material to the hand and eye that flatter all the senses, if they are open to certain rigor.

There are many young people working there with bright ideas, an unconditional dedication to meticulous workmanship and Chinese backers who act as investors, but fortunately do not act as all-knowing pacesetters in Torslanda. The old, white man, who would like to train as a dentist or teacher, still has fond memories of his crispbread-shaped station wagon. Or later his full-size SUV XC 90, in front of which not only the local horse curtsied in awe.
